XYplorer Beta Club

While doing some work with List Management was looking for a button to Copy List similar to Clear List which is there. Not found! Feeling rather frustrated serendipitously came across Editor Mode which solved the problem.

Okay, I am getting old but don't remember that tool before. Nearly as great as sliced bread. How long has it been available?

You are slightly late, about 6 1/2 years.

+++ Now XYplorer can maintain file associations outside of the Windows
registry. Simply open "File Associations..." in menu Tools/List
Management and add associations between extensions and applications.
The syntax is "extension>application (full path)".
For example:
png>C:\Programs\Viewer\Viewer.exe
png>?:\Programs\Viewer\Viewer.exe
[^ means: drive will be used where this XY is running from]
The 2nd example is particularly interesting if you use XYplorer on
portable drives: the little "?"-trick makes you independent of the
local drive mappings! Double-clicking (or [enter]ing) a file in
XYplorer will cause it to open in an application stored on your
thumbdrive, independent (a) of the file associations maintained by
the local copy of Windows, and (b) of the local drive mappings.
What more portability do you want?
Of course, if the file to be opened is not associated within
XYplorer then the registry-based file association is used to open
it.
Note that these associations are used on Dbl-Click, [Enter] and
[Ctrl+Enter]. You still have access to the registry-based file
associations via the files' context menu's "open" command.
+ List Management: added "Editor Mode". In this mode you can easily
edit your list data like chunk of text. Pretty cool if you ask me.

@serendipity Thank you for taking the time and effort to answer such a banal query. That is almost as long as my purchase of the Lifetime License.

Can't believe that Editor Mode had gone unnoticed for so long.

Incipient senescence really does suck.

It's not just you, with so many features it's hard to keep track of little tricks. Btw, there is a huge history.txt file in the license lounge, it's easy to search something there.
